VNC for HP-UX 11.0

[Wendy_9]

Hi,

I have get a software "essential tools" (filename: essential.depot.gz) from the below site
http://www.ifost.org.au/Software/

It is a freeware. After install VNC server on HP-UX, we can use the VNC windows client to access X windows application of server. But, I do not know it has any impact for the server.

Can anyone use it before or do you have any suggestion which can be act as X windows on PC and free of charge?

Thanks

Regards,
Wendy

The actual usage of the X server on the HPUX server is minimal. The process (/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin) uses a small amount of memory, hardly any CPU. The usage basically consists of each shell session or process that is used.

You can get VNC from here:

Yes, I have already get VNC but do not know it is supported to install on HP-UX 11.0 or not.

I want to use a software which only need to install on the client side and not on the server side.

Does anyone know any freeware for it?

Regards,
Wendy

Is it supported on hpux 11.00, well it works well but in terms of do HP support it ... not that I'm aware, saying that this forum and the vnc forum/faq's covers most issues.

As to an alternative ... you'd be looking for a free eqivalent to ReflectionX or Exceed which install on the PC but use XDMCP to connect to the dtlogin process on the server and allow remote X window connections.

I downloaded a depot version compiled for HP-UX at
ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/RealVNC_r3.3.7.1.depot.gz
which I (sw)installed on HP-UX 11.11.

I only had to uncomment and modify line 153 (concerning the font path) in
/opt/realvnc/bin/vncserver
(added the path to our fontserver: "tcp/OurFontServer:7000")

The following connections were tested successfully:
W2K/VNC-viewer -> HP-UX/VNC-server
HP-UX/VNC-viewer -> W2K/VNC-server

VNC works well on HP-UX as a server and a client. It is not support by HP, but rather is an OpenSource product.

Tridia has a version of VNC that you can buy and obtain support from Tridia. I suspect that there are other vendors out there as well.

A similar product is GraphOn's GoGlobal, with a server that runs on HP-UX and a thin client on Windows PCs.

The freeware cygwin package includes the Xfree86 X server for PCs. You can get it from
